☀️ Tallow-Based Mineral Sunscreen Balm – Natural Sun Protection That Nourishes

Did you know that tallow is naturally protective, soothing, and restorative for your skin? 🌿 For centuries, cultures around the world—from the Babylonians and Egyptians to the Inuit, Himba, Hamer tribes, and Native Americans—have relied on animal fats in their skincare rituals. We’ve taken that ancient wisdom and reimagined it for modern sun care.

Introducing our Organic Tallow-Based Sunscreen Balm—a chemical-free, reef-safe, and deeply moisturizing alternative to conventional sunscreens. Made with organic, grass-fed beef tallow, this balm is rich in nutrients and safe for both your body and the environment. 💧🌊

🌞 Why You’ll Love It:

  • Broad-Spectrum UVA/UVB Protection using non-nano zinc oxide—a safe, mineral-based barrier that sits on top of the skin instead of absorbing into it.

  • Made with just five clean ingredients, so you can soak up the sun with confidence and peace of mind.

  • Hydrating and water-resistant, this balm keeps your skin soft, supple, and nourished, even in the heat.

  • Infused with lavender essential oil for a light, calming scent and hexane-free castor oil for smooth application.

  • Non-greasy and fast-absorbing, leaving no white cast or residue—just healthy, glowing skin.

  • Fortified with 20% non-nano zinc oxide, offering an estimated SPF of 25–35 🌼 (see disclaimer below).

  • Packaged in a 2 oz glass container—eco-friendly and reusable ♻️

⚠️ Disclaimer: This product has not been laboratory tested for an exact SPF rating. The estimated SPF is based on similar formulas containing 20% non-nano zinc oxide.

As always, made with certified organic ingredients. We never include parabens, synthetic fragrance, triglycerides, or harsh chemicals—just the good stuff your skin actually needs.

HOW TO USE

Apply generously to clean, dry skin before sun exposure. Reapply every hour, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying.

    FAQs

    What kinds of ingredients does Roots & Leaves use?

    They use organic, non-GMO botanicals, herbs, roots, and berries. Their focus is on high-quality, sustainable ingredients—from the ground up.

    Where are the products made and who creates them?

    All products are developed by Haley Maness, a certified herbalist, in her studio in Asheville, NC. The brand is a woman- and family-owned small business.

    Are these remedies for specific conditions or general wellness?

    Roots & Leaves offers both general wellness blends (like herbal teas) and targeted solutions (such as immune-support tonics). Their products are designed to support whole-body health, influenced by Haley’s personal healing journey.

    Are their formulas safe for sensitive users?

    Yes—they emphasize clean, botanical formulas with minimal synthetic additives. However, as with any herbal product, we recommend patch testing or consulting a healthcare provider for specific needs.

    How should I store and use the products?

    Storage instructions vary by product. Typically: keep away from direct sunlight, store in a cool dry place, and follow usage directions on each bottle or jar. Some formulas may benefit from refrigeration for freshness.

    Do they produce limited runs or standard stocked items?

    Roots & Leaves works in boutique, small-batch production, meaning some blends may be limited or seasonal. Best to check restock availability or subscribe for updates.
